A GEORGIA TRAGEDY.
Man, Wife, Six Children and the Wfe's
Aunt erutay Murdered.


MACON, Ga, Aug, 7-Captain Richard
Woolfalk, well-inown farmer, his wife,
six children, ranging in age from sixteen
months to twenty years, and Mrs. West,
an aunt of Mrs. Woolfalk, were found
murdered in the house, about twelve
miles from here, yesterday morning, hav-
ing been Knocked on the head and their
throats cut. Tom G. Voolfolk, son of
Captain Voolfolk, by his first wife, is sus-
pected of the crime, and was arrested
The most remarkable funeral on record
occurred here to-day, when the nine
victims OF the bloody hand of Thomas
&. Voolfolk We're buried. The funeral
took place in the presence of about
three thousand people, many of whom fol-
lowed the procession Of five hearses from
the scene of the tragedy thirteen miles
from Macon. The procession started from
W Oolfolk'S home at six o'clock, reaching
Macon at two, followed by thirty carriages
and bugges, none Of which contained a
person by the name of Voolfolk the en-
tire family in that section having been
wiped out of existence BY the son
Thomas. Rev. s. K. Branham took
position among the nine collins and
began the services, These were
brought TO an abrupt termination by the
arrival OF Mrs. Edwards, own sister of the
murderer who was in Athens at the time
Of the crime, and arrived in Macon while
the cortege was filing into the cemetery
She was almost frantic with grief and her
cries brought tears to the eyes of all. 1t
was such n scene that the minister said
he could say no more. In his sermon he
administered a stern rcbulle to the manner
in which the laws Of the coun-
try are carried out, and of loop
holes by which criminals could es-
cape punishment, He prayed for the
family and also for the prisoner, say
ing that whatever may be his fate he
should be prepared for it. The crowd re-
mained on the ground all day. The pris-
oner was taken by Jailcr Birdsong to At
lanta on the 3:3j train this morning for
safe keeping, it being found that the ex-
citement created by the funeral and the
further fact that there were evidences
Of his having ravished his half-sister on
the night Of the crime might work up the
people toa frenzy that no strong jail could
Withstand, On the way to Atlanta he
talked of the crime, but made no admis-
sions. When speaking of the nine victims
he said he was ready to go, as he was man
enough TO stand any punishment, though
he cared but little whether he lived or
died. Tonight the town is enjoying its
usual quiet

OUR COMMERCE.
Facts and Figures Prove That Cot.
ton is Stll King.
That Commodity Forms Nearly Third of
o"r Entire EKports-The Planter and
Farmer Have just Cause for Pride.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 9.-rhe latest reports
OF the Bureau of Statistics lust issued
gives some interesting facts about the
commerce Of the year which ended June
3n 1t shows that we sold to our urncirhbors
IN various parts Of the world last wear
S7o3,0D,0OO worth of our productions. or
about S,OOoOOO worth of sales per day, the
year round. This is about Si0,0)10
pore than we made the preceding
year. That this is cmincntly an agricul-
tural country is easy to see from the most
casual examination of the details Of eX-
ports of the sIO3,OOD,D0 worth of exports,
s533,ennO, were agricultural products.
Cotton breadstuffs and meats are the
man articles on which this 1928, 900, 900 was
raised. Cotton is still king, for that alone
brought S222 ,OOOO00 into this country from
abroad-20G,O 900, 600 of it for the raw cotton,
$lo,oVlWO for the manufactured article.
Breadstuffs brought SlGj0OoCO0 and
meats and dairy products S9?,O00,0O0.
we THINK we are doing Il good
deal Of manufacturing in this country, but
that is small thing beside the products
OF agriculture. The exports of manufac-
lures only amounted to sl35, 900, ,0jJ in value,
or less than twothrds of the value Of cot.
ton exported, and less than the export Of
breadstuffs. Let the humble farmer hold
up his head with just pride, for he sup
plies not alone the sustenance for this
Nation of GO,O0JOOO pcople. but brings

was stated in the discussions that the first

came from Massachusetts. General B. F..

KANSAS CYCLOEE,
IL Leaves "A CHASTITY Track Through Several
TOwnS-A Number Killed.


ATcHsoN, KAN, Aug 5.-A destructive
cyclone swept over the Solomon Valley
last night, attended with serious loss of
lie. Mlllbrook, Graham County, was al
most completely destroyed. Nicodemus
was IN the path of the storm, and several
houses were blown down and others un-
rooied. Plainyille also suffered consider
able loss and anumb Der of houses in the vici-
nifty OF Stockton were totally demolished.
Inc storm passed over the greater portion
OF Graham and Norton Counties, but so far
as can be ascertained no damage was done
south OF Millbrook. The cyclone struck
Millbrook about S p. m. 1t was seen ap-
preaching from the northwest, mass Of
black and threatening clouds. 1t quickly
passed, leaving the greater portion of tho
town in ruins. There is no telegraphic
connection within eighteen miles,
and reports are therefore meager.
The following are the casualties so
far as ascertained: The two chill
dren OF Geo. Watkins, killed outright; W.
Is. Crllchfeld, wounded, probably fatally;
Hassy Grubbs, wounded, recovery doubt
ful; Rosa Boylan, arm and leg broken;
Geo, A,nsworth, internally injured; Mrs.
Geo, Ainsworth, badly injured; A. Il.
Grubbs, arm broken and badly injured
about the head Mrs. c. Cover, arm broken
DIR. Fuller, arm broken; Mrs. Simmons, in.

bruised about the head and hands. Many
others were more or less injured and a
number are missing. The damage is vari-
ously estimated at from 100000 to $500.

town Of eight hundred inhabitants, bu,
the losses are unknown here. A destruc

THE COUNTRY BOY.
Ike Tremendous Advantage Which IL,
Has over the Average Town Lad.

Tie tremendous Advantage NhlCh hc
Has over the Average Town Lad.
The country lad, who is trained to
simple ways and homcly virtues, and
who learns what dollar is worth by
actually earning it, under the laws OF
imperative necessity, has tremendous
advantage over the town boy. The
country schools are far inferior TO the
town or city schools, but this is coun-
tcrbalanced by the fact that the country
boy is trained to work from the time he
can pick up corn cobS for the kitchen
stove, till he goes out to his own home.
The country boy has Il mile or so 10
walk to and from school, which gives
him vigorous appetite and health.
The country boy or girl is face to face
with practical realities He sees how
slowly money is made on the farm, he
is taught from youth up the need Of
economy; he has the nature Of saving
first explained to him every day in the
week; he is not exposed to the tempta-
ton of the saloon or the ball room; he
is not tempted to be a ladies' man be-
fore he has occasion to use razor on
his downy cheeks. He may be trillc
rude, he may not feel easy in COM
pany; but in the long, closely con-
tested race of life it is the boy
who trudges to school bare-footed in
summer, and in broSans in winter,
whose mother cuts his hair with her
shears, that leads the boy that goes to
the city school with the starched shirt
front and fancy slippers, and whose
hair is cut by an expert in the barber
shops.
Such has been our observation. and
we think our conclusion is not crronc-
ous. Speaking from experience, we
never read any books with such avidity
as those we devoured while the horses
were resting at the end of the furrow.
The boys we enved forty years ago,
because they wore cashmere and
laughed at our jeans, have dropped 50
far back in the race that we have al.
most forgotten them. Tho young mon
who had plenty of money at college,
have not, rs a rule, succeeded in life,
while the boy, who, in the main de-
pendent ON his own exertion, wore
plain clothes and applied himself
| closely to his studies in college, Is ono
of the leading minds of the day
